What is Standardise (Seiketsu) ?

What is Standardise (Seiketsu)? Standardisation means continually and
repeatedly maintaining your organisation, neatness and cleaning. As such, it
embraces both personal cleanliness and the cleanliness of the environment. The
emphasis here is on visual management and 5-S standardisation. Innovation and
total visual management are used to attain and maintain standardised conditions
so that you can always act quickly. Visual management has recently come
into the limelight as an effective means of continuous improvement. It has been
used for production, quality, safety, and customer services. Colour management
has also come in for considerable attention lately. This has been used not only
for colour-coding, but also to create a more pleasant work environment. There
are more and more workers opting for white and other light-coloured clothes.
Because these clothes show the dirt quickly, they provide a good indicator of
how clean the workplace is. They highlight the need for cleaning.
